Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Depending on the work needed, this looks like it’s not a bad price.

(09/15/2009) This has a funky top. If this runs, it might be a good price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
This includes a PTO Winch. It’s dusty, but this looks like a good restoration candidate.
“1952 Willys CJ-3A – bone stock and in great shape. I bought this to do a frame off restoration, since it is 100% original – still even has the foot rod starter. The L4 flathead engine runs, but smokes a bit.
Still the original 6V, has the PTO winch, Harrison heater, and has a solid body with with minimal rust. Had a hardtop on it, so the floors are very good. Clear title. Stored in my garage”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
This looks solid and straight.
“1949 Willys Jeep. It’s all original, it has 3 speed transmission and is 4 wheel drive. Due to it’s age, it is being sold AS IS with no warranties. It also comes with a clean and clear title, and is currently tagged and inspected. It has a rear main seal leak that needs to be fixed, but it still runs good. We had a blast in it last summer, just riding the back roads and enjoying life.I’m going to miss it, but I have too many cars & horses, and something has to go! Give us a holler and you can check it out.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
It has a top, a plow, and it appears to run.

I think the pics say it all! Here are a couple pics of the matching Bantam Trailer.
“Awesome Old Willys!!!!!! It has Willys dealership ad ons including: 3 POINT HITCH, DUAL REAR WHEELS, and POWER TAKE OFF. ONLY 78k ORIGINAL MILES. Ready for the Show!!

“Beautifully restored 1948 CJ3A Willys Jeep. This Jeep has been restored to near original condition including rebuilt L 134 flathead engine, upgraded wiring, paint, and undercoating. It is spotless throughout and runs and drives nicely. It has been garaged since its restoration three years ago.

Here’s a non-running CJ-3A.

“1949 Jeep CJ3A, ran when parked. Grandfather used jeep on ranch, but has not been ran for six years. Original engine and drive train. Comes with Ramsey winch. Would make a great restoration or 4X4 project. Title has been lost & the vehicle does not have visible VIN numbers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
This appears to be a very good price, especially for an eastern US Jeep. I suspect the body is a replacement body.
‘FOR SALE A 1952 WILLY’S. RUNS AND DRIVES MUST SEE TO BELIEVE THE SHAPE ITS IN!!!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
The fix for the engine can’t be that complex.
“Red, low mileage, original drive train, engine, PTO, towbar, near new top, good body, 12 volt conversion. “As is” This jeep ran purrfectly until one day I had the hood up while it was running and was bragging to my neighbor how smooth it ran. I then closed the hood, it stopped running and I couldn’t get it started after that. I’m not a mechanic and haven’t a clue what it might be. I think this car would be have a NADA value of approximately $10,000.00 if it were running today. Please look at the pictures below and call me with any questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
This is missing a motor, but otherwise looks good.
“1951 Willys for sale. New paint,complete wiring,windshield,canisters,canister holders, it never had major rust problem. Only minor and it has been welded.NO ENGINE.”
UPDATE: Back on eBay
(04/07/2010) These look rough.
“I bought these Jeeps to restore however, lack of money, and other things to worry about, has forced me to sell them. The exact year of these Jeeps are unknown THEY ARE BOTH ORIGINAL FLATFENDERS. the YELLOW Jeeps motor is locked. haven’t done anything to see otherwise, it has an valve cover ( 4cyl ) know as the F-head (has valve cover ). the body of this jeep is gone. however axles, ect. are probably still useable. This would be a good parts vehicle for someone with this type of jeep already. The Red Jeep is a L-head (flathead) condition of motor unknown, I believe this engine is know as a ” Go Devil” engine. “JEEP” AND “WILLYS” ( in the pics) are stamped on top of the motor. transmission shifts and transfercase as well drum brake on the trasmission. Body is in fair and repairable condion considering the age of this vehicle.BOTH frames on these vehicles are SOLID. Yellow jeep has a towbar and can be towed, as it was to my house. The red jeep will need trailering. I believe both these vehicles together are worth well over $800.00 for parts or restoration.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000
(01/18/2010) This is good looking, though it needs some finishing.

This looks in good condition.

(02/03/2010) This looks pretty nice. I’d like to see some more pics.
“1953 cj3a fully custom restoration with original drivetrain and motor. Looking to trade for quad 4×4 of same or equal value. Jeep is great off road vehicle for desert or lake. Moving and trying to keep from havng to tow it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950
It looks like 1 1/2 parts jeeps, but this may be a good price if the body isn’t too bad.
“Two Jeeps, one complete 49 CJ3a with clear tittle. Engine is moisture locked, but didnt run when it turned over. Drive train is fine, clutch, trans and tranfer case all functional,solid frame and body. The second unit has no body, but a complete running gear and motor. This motor has been been rebuilt with many new parts and a 12 volt system, but is also moisture locked, this frame is solid and has a complete PTO with shaft.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1300
(03/30/2010) Based on these pics I’d say the body on this is less than ok.
“1952 jeep willys cj3a. Seems to have all the original parts. Ran when i parked it three years ago. Body is ok considering the age. must sell so make an offer. i don’t check my email so call 859 583 1369”
http://lexington.craigslist.org/cto/1668192135.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
It needs a little work.
“1951 CJ3A Willys Jeep. The Good: Complete, mostly original, flat-four. Also includes full 6-point cage, new tires, new shocks, new gas tank and lines, and new brake lines. The Issues: It has been sitting for a while and was in the middle of a 12-volt conversion that was never finished (no generator or alternator currently) when I bought it, wiring needs attention, turns over and starts, has a couple rust-out spots under the rear tail lights, quater size hole under the drivers seat in the pan, and rust in the rigger body braces under the body near the frame (where the wood was located). No pink slip.
I bought it as a project and have not had the time to finish it. It had been sitting for a while prior to me buying it… I massaged the cylinders with some Marvel oil, added some fresh gas to the carb and it cranked over and it tried to run. Sputtered, puttered, but ran. Since then, I have replaced all the gas lines, cleaned the new tank (it had old gas in it), added two inline filters, new plugs, new wires, and there it sat. Thus, I know it’s not frozen and only needs minor tweaking to run.”
It’s unclear how much work this needs.
“PROJECT JEEP 1947 CJ2A. Brought back from deer lease and don’t have time for it. The hardtop is made by rawson-koenig. No glass in windshield. A couple of tires don’t hold air very long. 1200 obo Call Jay 512-848-5770 located in Steiner ranch”
